CONT

El centeno es atacado de una enfermedad que altera sus granos y produce el cuernecillo de centeno que se utiliza en la medicina. El centeno enfermo se llama centeno ergotado. El cuernecillo es debido a un hongo que se sustituye al grano en la espiga. Es un cuerpo negro, encorvado; contiene un principio venenoso que es la ergotinina, de uso precioso en la terapéutica.
